installing it.

Inspecting and replacing anode(s)
HIDEA outboard motors are protected from corrosion by sacricial anodes. Inspect the external
anodes periodically. Remove scales from the surfaces of the anodes.

Coating the boat bottom
A clean hull improves boat performance. The boat bottom should be kept as clean of marine growth as
possible. If necessary, the boat bottom can be coated with an anti-fouling paint
approved for your area to inhibit marine growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes copper or graphite. These paints can cause more
rapid engine corrosion.
